Unplugged

If Eric Clapton can do it, so can I! I remember him playing his acoustic guitar alone on stage. The quiet  music he was sharing was sweet and simple in some ways.

So I am unplugging until Wednesday night or Thursday morning. We are off to Pelee Island for a few days. No phone, computer, TV, just good friends, a good book and maybe some bike riding. Jesus went apart many times in his ministry. He taught us the value of taking a Sabbath, a time to refresh ourselves spiritually and physically.

And you don't even have to go away to have a Sabbath. Just create space in your own home where distractions are lessoned and you get to go part and contemplate your life and enjoy just being.

You are a magnificent being, worthy of all the Universe has to offer. In this busy life we can forget that and who we are. Give yourself the gift of time apart for awhile. I remember friends who told me that every once in awhile they have a "jammy day" where they stay in their jammies, read, talk and enjoy each other. Sounds like a good idea. We have 365 days in a year, surely we can find time to go apart once in awhile.
